Stephen Smith has been an arrogant, loudmouthed, irritating punk from the time he first got on the air. It's as if he thinks that if he blabbers crap loud enough it will cover up the ignorance of takes. The world of sports journalism would be far better off without him.

Even more disgusting is the fact that the same people spewing those racist rants also childishly fawn over African-American athletes as long as they run fast, throw long, jump high, hit a jumper, or score touchdowns. But when the game ends........................ lift that barge, tote that bale.

We've come a long way, but unfortunately we are still a long way from a post-racism society.

I may be mistaken because I now have gaps and spaces in my memory. But I thought on that team Richie Hoyt from Mt. Vernon started and Joe Roberts and Bobby Knight were the first two off of the bench. Richie was a senior I believe, and the next year Joe started. We lost to Cincy in the final I believe.

I remember my Dad taking us to Port Columbus airport to welcome the team back. Somewhere buried in a box is a score book that I used to score to keep score of all of the televised games that year. Most games were called Jimmy Crum. I still remember his call when a Buckeye went to the line to shoot a "Annie Oakley".
